Zechs Merquise is OZ's most formidable pilot and one of Treize's inner circle in Gundam Wing. The catch? He's actually Milliardo Peacecraft, rightful heir to the destroyed Sanc Kingdom, operating undercover behind a silver mask while serving OZ. Once that mask shatters in combat, his cover's blown—he abandons OZ and pivots to peace ambassador work for the Sanc Kingdom instead.
Things get messier from there. After Sanc gets wiped out a second time, Zechs takes the helm of White Fang, a rebel organization bent on achieving total peace through military force. It's the kind of contradiction that defines him: a skilled mobile suit pilot wrestling with the idea that you might need to wage war to actually end all wars. He's best known for piloting the Tallgeese and later the Gundam Epyon, and fans often note his complicated relationship with the other main characters and his idealism-turned-extremism arc.
